Another one for the books at Elk Mountain today. The skiff of overnight snow changed little and it's still utterly epic powder riding out there. There has also been very little wind effect to mess with our 70-100 cm of storm snow. Even upper treeline slopes looked to have been spared. We saw some fresh dry loose avalanches up to size 1 on very steep features, otherwise no new avalanches. We kinda felt like a size 1 avalanche ourselves as we pushed all that pow down a couple slightly steeper slopes. Would have been a hazard to manage carefully somewhere more consequential. Change is coming tonight!
